Fannish Items of Interest

I’m in two good LJ book clubs (mythical_truth and bibliophyles, if anyone wants to join them.) The two books for April at mythical_truth are The Princess Bride and Inkheart. I’ll probably just read The Princess Bride. They’re still voting on what book they should pick over at bibliophyles, but I decided to vote for The Hound of the Baskervilles.

I’m surprised this hadn’t already been done, what with all the Doctor Who prompts over there, but I went ahead and mentioned the polls with those Finish-A-Thon prompts over in the comments at who_daily.

Holly Madison may be forced to withdraw from Dancing With The Stars following a possibly broken rib. When I first read it, I misread it as broken hip. So this is kind of better? So now the injuries are her, Steve-O with his back, Steve Wozniak with his hamstring and messed up foot, and Gilles with his separated shoulder. And Jewel and Nancy O’Dell dropping out from injuries before the show started, of course. If anyone feels like keeping track of all the injuries or the show as a whole, I recommend joining dwts.

From Cracked.com: 14 Horrifying Soft Drinks From Around The World. The only one I had heard of was Thanksgiving Dinner Soda. I remember them trying the Green Bean Casserole and Stuffing ones on Live With Regis and Kelly one year.

( Cut here, so I can answer the characters I was assigned for the character meme. )

The Meme That Just Won't Die

1) Comment to this and I will give you 3 people.
2) Post this meme with your answers.
3) Provide pictures and the names of 3 people.
4) Label which you would marry, sleep with, and throw off a cliff.

pat_t gave me Joe Dawson, Christopher Eccleston, and David Tennant—one of the tougher ones to choose from. Obviously, I can’t keep from throwing at least one off a cliff. I’ll go with marrying Joe Dawson, since I think he doesn’t deserve to get thrown off a cliff after everything the poor guy went through in the series and movies. Sleep with David Tennant, and throw Christopher Eccleston off a cliff, despite the fact that I love the guy’s acting.

such_heights gave me the Tenth Doctor, Jack Harkness, and Martha Jones. I’ll throw Jack off a cliff immediately. Sleep with Martha Jones, and marry the Tenth Doctor. Although, if he struggles and escapes into his TARDIS, then reverse the two. Especially if he wears that tuxedo and every alien civilization there is happens to invade.

And from inkandchocolate: Inara, Kaylee, River. I would throw River off a cliff, since otherwise I have the feeling she just might kill me in my sleep. Sleep with Inara. Marry Kaylee, although I have a feeling she'll want Simon eventually.

In other news, I think I’m now hooked on Merlin. I’ll be starting on the sixth episode sometime in the next few minutes. I think I mostly like Merlin, Gaius, Guinevere, and Uther. Occasionally Arthur, although this really does feel a little bit like Smallville at times. Smallville, with better actors.

ETA: No wonder Lancelot looked strangely familiar. He was Isaac on Heroes!
